jaymzth007 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 Thompson Center .54 cal Renegade. 110 grains of Pyrodex with Mag-Spark 209 primer conversion shooting a 430 gr. TC Maxi Ball. Shot my first 2 bulls and 1 cow with this setup. Also have a .50 cal barrel which I shoot 250 gr .45 cal Barnes Expander Sabots with 2 50 gr Pyrodex pellets. Haven't shot anything since switching to this setup yet. Love shooting the old school smoke poles! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Titanium700 Report post Posted March 20, 2015 Earlier in the thread i posted a picture of my muzzleloader. I have since updated it with a cds dial and mcmillan stock. i have one other thing to update and that is to get a different 209 ignition system and breech plug to shoot bh209 powder and barnes original 400 grainers for some longrange fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shooter McGavin Report post Posted March 25, 2015 This is my Kimber 270wsm 8400 Classic w/muzzle brake. Topped with a Zeiss 4.5-14x44 scope. (Dads gun) This is my other Kimber 270wsm 8400 Classic, topped with a Kahles KX 3.5-10x50 scope. (Sons gun, but mostly dads gun) Unfortunately it looks like myself nor my kids will be using these for elk this year, the draw gods weren't in our favor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted March 25, 2015 My cousin will be shooting his 7mm RM. I get to start load development on another gun!!! Going to try 168 Berger HVLDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted April 8, 2015 I am going to continue load development on the 257 Weatherby with 115gr Berger VLDs and probably start working a load for 7mm remember mag with VLDs or Nosler Partitions. I also will be working a load for my buddies 3006 and possibly a 270 for another hunt buddy. My buddy just put new glass on the 3006 so we are going to get it sighted in at 200 and start working on steel and paper out to 500. Harley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nw07heavy Report post Posted April 19, 2015 Two of us drew elk tags for October this year. I'm using a TRG-42 in .338 LM loaded with a Berger 300 gr .419 G7 BC VLD, and a buddy is using his new Savage 111 XP TH in .270 Win in which we are working up some long range loads with CEB MTH 130 gr .540 G1 BC VLDs. Good luck to all of you who drew elk tags for this year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
